Just back from a long trip and started reading 3 months of the Caravan Club magazine. May edition had an "Ask your Club"feature on new regulations regarding towing mirrors. This had a Q and A section that informed me that the new very expensive mirrors I bought from a Dutch stand at the NEC in February where illegal because thay didnt carry an EU kite mark. I was to expect £60 fine and penalty points if stopped by the police and my insurance would be void.
Although I had no intention whatever of scrapping the best mirrors I have ever owned I was less than happy with the the thought that I had paid nearly £80 for an illegal item.
Moving on to the June edition another "Ask your club" feature totally contradicted the previous stab at the subject and advised that new mirrors would not be required except for new car purcased after January 2010.
It would seem that the erronious advice had come from Milenco who are claiming to be the only legal supplier now.
If this is the best the Caravan Club can do how much faith should we have in the rest of thier advice?
